Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical education with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for conditions varying from conventional conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
